For me is an easy question when i find a "Sherman was the best" guy i only ask, what is closer to postwar tanks used by USA, Sherman or Tiger/panther... if postwar tanks are closer to this 2 last tanks WTF they use "inferior" models compared with the powerfull Sherman???

Only advantage for Sherman was in HE rounds (and only in the 75mm models, in the end of war practically all in Europe use 76mm... another contradiction) and numbers and maybe durability... at least in mechanics because when he face a small resistance...

And if main advantage for Sherman is numbers i find T-34/85 a lot better and i dont add T-44
